#7040: DAVID FROST SHOW, THE
1971-03-09, WNEW, 72 min.
Tony Bennett , David Frost , Beatles

July 7, 1969-July 14, 1972 (SYNDICATED). During the three-year run of his American talk show, David Frost taped the show (approximately 750 programs) each week, Monday through Thursdays. The series was syndicated by Westinghouse.   

David Frost's only guest this evening is singer Tony Bennett. 

Bennett sings numerous songs on the show backed by his own orchestra. They include, "Shadow of your Smile," "I Left My Hear in San Francisco," "Rags to Riches," "The Lady is in Love with You," "I'll Begin Again," "When You're Smiling," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "Theme From Love Story," others.
Bennett recounts the thrill of recording the theme from "Love Story" in England with a 107 piece London Philharmonic orchestra behind him. 

David Frost and Tony Bennett talk about a myriad of topics, including Bennett's childhood, growing up in Astoria Queens, his siblings, the different Nationalities in his neighborhood, which strengthened him as a youth, the 69th division army band he was a member, his very first  girl friend, who encouraged him to become a singer, religion in his youth as an alter boy, and an anecdote related to the first singing "gig" he remembers performing as a 6 year old when he and his brother sang at the opening of the Tri-Borough Bridge with Mayor La Guardia in attendance. 

Tony Bennett takes questions from the audience. He remembers Pearl Bailey giving him his first professional opportunities. David Frost reads a poem that Bailey wrote to Bennett called "TAKE TIME."

Additional anecdotes include Bob Hope who changed his marquee name to Tony Bennett and took him on tour, how Tony first was introduced to his signature song, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," and coming in second to Rosemary Clooney competing on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts Radio Program. Frost and Bennett view a clip from the motion picture, "THE OSCAR," in which Tony does a very dramatic scene. Tony discusses his dramatic acting ambitions, his penchant for painting locations where he performs all around the world, and his admiration for the music by The Beatles. Tony sings a medley of Beatle tunes. 
When asked by Frost who his favorite singers are, Bennett mentions, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra.

Concluding the show Tony Bennett dedicates to David Frost and sings, "Who Can I Turn To?"

A Complete broadcast minus commercials.

1971-06-08, ABC, min.
George Burns , Dick Cavett , J.I. Rodale

December 29th,1969-January 1st,1975 (ABC) 

Dick Cavett is back on television as ABC's new entrant in the late-night race. The format is desk and sofa five nights a week like the Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin shows. As Cavett sees it, it's the chemistry that counts. His forte:an articulate way with an interview, plus approaches to comedy that range from youthful innocence to the cynicism of WC.Fields. 

Guest: George Burns 

June 7th, 1971: J.I. Rodale's Onstage Death 

As noted in Cavett's autobiography, (pg321-323) on June 7th, 1971, publisher J.I. Rodale, an advocate of organic farming, died of a heart attack during taping. Cavett was speaking with journalist Pete Hamill when Rodale began to make a snoring noise. Cavett's reaction to this is contested-he claims that both he and Hamill realized immediately that something was wrong, while other accounts have him addressing the unconscious man "Are we boring you, Mr. Rodale?" The audience did not realize anything was seriously wrong until Cavett asked (avoiding the cliche) "Is there a doctor in the audience?"      

The program was never aired and a rerun aired in its place. The following night, June 8th, 1971 (George Burns is a guest) Cavett describes his reaction at length as to what happened during last night's taping regarding J.I. Rodale's death and discusses the incident.

George Plimpton discusses his research interviewing comedians including Woody Allen with his own objective to attempt stand-up comedy on his own. He demonstrates his "act" to the audience.  He states the most inventive and brilliant comedian of all is Jonathan Winters. 

The segment with Bill Russell runs 15 minutes.
Russell is introduced by Steinberg. He is persuaded to take a raw shack test (first thing that comes to his mind) by Steinberg. Bill describes his feelings about Wilt Chamberlin and states why he was so great (in a comedic conclusion Bill mentions that Wilt was the second best  player, ever). Russell talks about his initiative to be the first person to grow a beard as a player and how he got his reputation. Bill Russell and David Steinberg play one on one...Russell states his favorite shot a "dunk shot."

In a brief appearance, Dr. Theodore Rubin discusses his book, "Forever Thin." He states the myths about fat people, and defines "obese psychology."

David Frost , Sammy Davis Jr

July 7, 1969-July 14, 1972 (SYNDICATED). During the three-year run of his American talk show, David Frost taped the show (approximately 750 programs) each week, Monday through Thursdays. The series was syndicated by Westinghouse.  

NOTE: This was Sammy Davis Jr.'s third 90 minute solo guest   appearances on The David Frost Show, taped in Los Angeles (First two guest shots were taped in New York). Frost introduces Davis Jr. as "the greatest entertainer in the world."

Sammy Davis  talks about religion and his conversion to Judaism...his best early Hollywood pals, Tony Curtis and Jeff Chandler. He discusses at length his automobile accident (Nov. 19, 1954) losing the sight of one eye. His ordeal and remembrance of what transpired after the accident. Sammy claims to be the first Black Cowboy on the screen, and demonstrates with David Frost in a very funny spot, how to throw a punch in films that looks real to the camera. Discussion about his first producing TV film "The Trackers." A clip is shown and discussed. Sammy sings a number of songs including, "Bess, O Where's My Bess?" from "Porgy and Bess," and "Bojangles," and relates to Frost its true meaning. Davis does impressions and reveals the difficult ones he has never been able to do...giving praise to other impressionists who have mastered the art.

#16744A: DICK CAVETT SHOW, THE
1971-12-03, ABC, 14 min.
Willie Mays , Leo Durocher , Bobby Thompson , Dick Cavett , Richard Jerome

 Willie Mays' only time substituting as host of a talk show.
  
He fills in for Dick Cavett (Dick Cavett Show). He takes questions from the audience including one heard/asked by 15 year old fan, Richard Jerome, wanting to how Willie felt being on deck when Bobby Thompson hit his famous "shot heard round the world," home run October 3, 1951 against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Mays answers that he was more nervous at that time then presently hosting the Dick Cavett Show. 

Earlier in the broadcast Willie Mays reads question cards written by those in the audience. Again a question by Richard Jerome who writes, "Which of your baseball accomplishments has meant the most to you, which includes hitting four homeruns in Milwaukee in 1961, reaching the mark of 500 homeruns in 1965...600 homeruns in 1969, and achieving your 3000th hit?" 
Mays' answer: "Richard, I'd take either one of them myself. 
At the time when I first broke in I went 0 for 24. So anyone of these I would take."

Other questions include "Why are you (Willie) playing ball at the age of 40?" Willie responds that he would like to still be playing baseball at 48.

  Willie's guest, his former New York Giant manager, Leo Durocher, swap anecdotes with one another about playing and managing during the 1950's. Durocher states that he told Willie Mays who was batting 0 for 20 leading into the World Series against the New York Yankees that if he didn't get a World Series hit, he wouldn't get any World Series money. 

Also remembered by Durocher his first experiences with Willie when Mays wanted to quit baseball because he was doing poorly but encouraged him to keep playing. Leo told Willie at that low point in his career that he believed in him and that he would always be his centerfielder.

 Another anecdote when picking up Willie at his place on 155th Street in NYC to attend an important function, he found Willie playing stick ball in the street, and coerced him to get into car which Willie did, but the back seat of his Cadillac, and shouted out loud to Leo, "Chauffer, whenever you are ready."

Also, discussed, remembrances of Leo's son Chris who was Willie's roommate for a time.

NOTE: Broadcast joined in progress. 
Commercials for Domino Sugar, Spaghetti O's, Miracle Brush and Bankers Trust included.
